"Generally a very pleasant stay . Just 2 comments 1. The bath and shower would be safer with a hand grip. 2 The dining room would benefit from more separation of diners ; e.g glass partitions to improve privacy of dining and conversation"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Whangarei Heads?

The bay itself is generally calm, suitable for kayaking or paddleboarding, and there are several walking tracks nearby, including ones leading to scenic lookouts.McLeod Bay offers a slightly more secluded feel with direct beach access. It's a popular spot for families due to its generally calm waters and a playground near the shore. There are also a few holiday rentals with stunning water views here.Ocean Beach, on the Pacific coast, is ideal for those seeking a more rugged, surf-orientated experience.
